give below a statement, as brief
as possible, from which the reader
can understand exactly how much
Democracy, and how much Repub-
licanism, there is in the Interior
Department proper.
This is the most important of the
Departments, and being under
Secretary Lamar, Mississippian,
suppose it would be of most inter.
est TO our people. AS in most OF
the other departments here, a fe"
officials, next In prominence
TO the Secretary, are Democrats,
and then the great mass of the best
paying positions are filed by old
Republicans, appointed Ivy other
administrations as reward for
work done the Republican party.

ing the principal positions in that
department; those with stars after

publican, was recently made acting
chief clerk of the Department, by
the present Secretary, in the place
of Geo. M. Lockwood, a dissulule,
disreputable and very black Republi-
can, who after having held the office
all the time under the present ad,
ministration, resigned few weeks
ago.
In the Land office Of this Depart
mcnt, the Commissioner, Sparks, is
known as Democrat, but his acts
do verify belle his reputation. His
assistant chief clerks and Recorder,
Messrs. Stockslager, Walker and
Ross are Democrats, together with
the ten nominal chiefs of Divisions.
The old chiefs Of Divisions who were
outside of civil service, instead OF
being discharged, were all nomlnally
reduced from chiefs to assistant
chiefs, where they could draw the
same salary and be under the pro-
lection (?) Of civil service. Yet in
reality, these Republicans are the
chiefs, the nominal chiefs there
being complete figure heads.
Below is list of all the clerks in
this department not including the
chiefs) who draw the highest sal
any, 81 500 a year:
